To the Honorable, the President and
Common Council of the City of st,
Paul:
My attention has been directed by
physicians and others to the frequent
occurrence of accidents within the city
limits, and to the inadequate facilities
for conveying the unfortunate victims
to their homes or the hospital. At the
present time persons thus injured are
conveyed from points frequently far
separated in the police patrol wagons,
and while this method of transportation
is as humane and eXpedient as possible,
it is scarcely calculated to serve either
the purpose for which the wagons are
intended or the best interests of human-
ity.
In view of these facts it has been sug-
geSted that the city be provided with
properly equipped ambulance for the
COlfCN VI UllC SlCh anu c(t, dllu

ton.
